Is that a laxative?

I use Griot's polish and wax machine products, the polish step being the most important but only needed annually since my stuff is garaged.

In between quarterly waxing I use their Speed Shine for especially stubborn klag. Otherwise it's hand washing with a quality car shampoo and microfiber cloths using the two-bucket method.

I complete detail the exterior 3-4x per year (clay, polish, glaze, base sealant(klasse), sealant (blackfire wet diamond), topper (pinnacle signature series II). But I will re wax just the 1-2x per month.

I have never used it but my Dad bought it for the first time a few months ago and swears by it. He says it is better than any regular wax he has ever used.


As for me I use Mequires Gold class was and do it 2-3 times per year.

Then I use Meguires Quick wax after every single wash.

Just use spray wax after each wash.
Love the 15 mins time to take to apply those.

When I bought mine in August, I did a complete paint polish and Sealed it up with 2 coats of Collinite Insulator Wax. Since then I've used a spray wax everytime I wash as a final step and I just got back from a long road trip and the bugs just wiped off with some warm sudsy water. A nice slick paint is so awesome to maintain once its done right. I'll probably do 2 more coats of Collinite before the snow flies.

If you try it I think you'll like it. It's synthetic, so it's a little odd using it at first, but it goes on and wipes off real easily. Also, it seems to hold up pretty good in between applications. Tested it out on my daughter's Challenger before I got my FRS and I was sold on it and have been using it ever since.
